Installation of Shot blasting machines OMSG for Machines for Ice and Snow Removal at Bucher Municipal, new article by Alessia Venturi for the magazine ipcm®

OMSG has installed one Carlo Banfi in-line sandblasting machine, revamped with 4.0 digital software and connected to the manual blowing station and one OMSG cluster shot blasting machine with maximum workpiece dimensions of ø 2500 x 3000 H mm.
The latter machine has a Y-shaped handling system with two hoists, each with a load capacity of 2000 kg. When one hoist is inside the machine for the shot blasting phase, the other is outside for loading/unloading parts, thus reducing idle times of the machine. The machine has four 15-kW turbines with special alloy components in K110. It meets the Industry 4.0 parameters and is equipped with an inverter to adjust the kinetic energy of the abrasive projected by the centrifugal turbines, thus avoiding possible damage and deformation of thin metal parts. The maximum hanging capacity of the coating system is 2200 kg, with a maximum length of 7.5 m.

These are the technical choices made by Giletta Spa, a company of the Bucher Municipal Group, to meet two fundamental requirements for the production of its snow and ice removal machines: the qualitative one of corrosion resistance exceeding 2000 hours in salt spray tests and the operational one of a maximum of three weeks from order receipt to delivery of the finished machine.
